The First International Symposium on Geo-information for Disaster Management (Gi4DM)

May 18, 2005 2

Symposium goal: treat disaster management in its entirety

• Technology: developers and researchers• user requirements for geo-information information• providers (data and standards).

• Aspects addressed:1. state-of-the-art in Disaster Management2. review of tools, software, geo-information sources, organizational

structures and methods for work in crisis situations3. outline of the drawbacks in current use of geo-information4. some suggestions for future research directions

…and this had its advantages and disadvantages

What was said:‘they what to sell us GIS’‘GIS is a tool, it does not solve everything by itself’‘there is difference between ‘small’ disasters and ‘big’ disasters’‘we have to educate disaster managers’‘geo-ICT has to learn from disasters’‘technologically everything is possible’‘the problem is organization and communication between partners’‘we succeeded because we are working together’‘our geo-information dates 1973’‘response phase cannot be isolated from prevention’‘data integration should be based on ontology and semantics’‘data are available after 3 days’ vs. ‘data were available after 3 hours’‘we have to stay close to the users’‘not all the people can work with total station but everybody can measure with steal

type’‘can it be extended in 3D?’…‘I have learned a lot’

Factors

• Type and extend of the disaster• Phase of disaster management• Decision-making level• Available data & technology (vary from country to

country)• Legislation• Human factor (behavior in stress)

Technology for emergency response

• Fast• Context awareness ‘what/who/where/how’• Integration from multiple sources• 3D and temporal aspect very important• Mixed indoor (CAD) and outdoor (GIS) information• Enables analysis (evacuation routes, flooding prediction,…)• Provides clear presentation (image, 2D/3D graphics, video, text,

sound/voice) • Up to date information: monitoring by terrestrial, airborne,

satellite sensors• Positioning and navigation (GPS, Galileo, telecommunications)• Wireless communication and services• Web-based, open source • Multidisaster, multiteam

Spatial data Integration for emergency services, ISPRS IV/8

• Integration of 3D GIS and intelligent image analysis systems foremergency management in urban environments;

• Application of low-cost and real-time digital imaging and mobile mapping technologies for emergency response;

• 3D data structures, algorithms, and standards for emergency datamanagement and exchange;

• Geo-ontology and semantics for emergency response; • Innovative knowledge-based systems for browsing and analysis in

distributed environments;• 3D visualization of scenes and situations (including indoor) on

different mobile front-ends;• Analysis of emergency management needs for production and

updating of spatial information.
